Nehal aunty: 3 and 4 yrs old: "Can anybody make sun"?: 4/08/07

 

The theme of today's session was"natural or man mad"?
The session started with a game where in Genies
made one single tower using building-blocks.
This was just warm-up for the activities that
were to follow.

In the stimulation round we played a game "Fire in
the mountain". In this game they were stimulated
by questions such as "Can anyone make the sun?".
To this particular question, Genies related 'making'
sun with 'drawing' sun. Hence, they agreed that
'we' can make sun. So I continued this discussion
further by asking whether they have ever seen a
factory that makes sun. Then they understood my point
and on their own they concluded that sun is "natural".

         
After the break, we played a game where in we passed
around a dice with pictures of natural and artificial
things on its sides and let Genies distinguish between
the two. Similarly, in the next game we passed around a
book with natural and artificial pictures, and let Genies
distinguish between the two.

In the last activity, Genies were given option to
either (a) choose and cut pictures of natural and
artificial things from news-papers/magazines – and make
a collage (b) draw pictures of natural/artificial things
from their imagination. I got surprized because 3 yrs old
also very exited to draw their imaginative drawiing.

That was the end of the day.
